"The Busway will link up with the new bus corridor along Lutwyche Road, to speed up bus travel and reduce traffic congestion," he said.

Mr Lucas said that the three new bus routes, with an additional 1227 services a week, will be introduced from Chermside, Stafford and between some QUT campuses.

"The new Chermside bus service will be a high frequency 'no timetable' service to the CBD and return and will be known as the TransLink 333."

Mr Lucas said the TransLink 333 was the third 'no-timetable' route to be introduced in Brisbane.

These routes are timetable free as they operate every 10 minutes or better in peak periods and 15 minutes in off peak periods, seven days a week.

All TransLink 333 services would be provided by new air-conditioned, low floor natural gas buses.

Mr Quinn highlighted that for every busload of commuters, there are 40 cars less on our roads making it easier for everyone to get around.

"The South East Busway has already proven that commuters will make the switch from private vehicle to bus, when a fast, efficient and reliable service is provided," said the Lord Mayor.

Mr Lucas said Brisbane City Council (BCC) had also added a new peak rocket service from Stafford (route 376) as well as a new inter-campus shuttle service between Carseldine and Kelvin Grove (route 392) for QUT staff and students.

Northside passengers could gain time savings as a number of existing Gympie Rd and Kelvin Grove Rd services would travel onto the Inner Northern Busway at Gilchrist Avenue and Ithaca Streets.

"Additionally, a number of bus priority measures north and south of the INB will improve service reliability, thanks to the BCC," Mr Lucas said

"I am proud that we are able to provide this world class facility with new services for the people of Brisbane," he said.

Mr Quinn said that the Inner Northern Busway is complemented by the completion of other award-winning projects such as the Inner City Bypass, upgrades to Coronation Drive and Waterworks Road have also been complete.

He said the new Green Bridge between St Lucia and Dutton Park and the planned $1billion North South Bypass Tunnel will also help to keep Brisbane moving.
